deadly fires.
  The residents of North Catawba take comfort in knowing that these men 
and women are nearby in the event of an emergency.

congratulate the brave men and women of the North Catawba Fire and 
Rescue Department who are devoted to protecting lives. This sacrifice 
truly exemplifies the spirit of America.
